Why Industry Experts Choose This Experience

Hadi Kerbaj

From Personal Trainer to Fitness Brand Founder

“I consider myself incredibly fortunate to be part of the Naked Entrepreneurs platform. What began as a professional fitness career has completely transformed into a powerful entrepreneurial journey. Through the guidance, mentorship, and strategic support of Naked Entrepreneurs, I moved from being a personal trainer to owning my own gym — and far beyond that. The platform helped me think bigger, structure my vision, and build a scalable business model"

Shaffi Hassan

Business Owner & Property Buyer

“For several years, I was working in an established franchise business, but my personal and financial growth had plateaued. I knew I was capable of more, but I didn’t know how to break through that ceiling. Everything changed when I came across Naked Entrepreneurs. Through their platform, I received the right guidance, access to funding, and strategic advice that enabled me to acquire additional businesses and, most importantly, purchase my own home."

Balraj Singh

Concrete Industry Entrepreneur

“I had been running a concrete business for several years, but I always knew that true scale would only come with owning my own production plant and infrastructure. Through Naked Entrepreneurs, that vision became a reality. The platform helped me structure my growth strategy, access the right opportunities, and take the leap into owning my own concrete plant and manufacturing facility."

The exhibition zone allows companies, service providers, and startups to showcase products, services, and innovations. The startup zone specifically highlights emerging businesses and provides visibility to investors, corporates, and government stakeholders.

The Startup Pitch Competition gives selected startups the opportunity to pitch live to a panel of judges, investors, and industry leaders. Winners may receive funding opportunities, partnerships, mentoring, or acceleration support. The competition is delivered in collaboration with leading innovation bodies.

Day 3 is split into two parallel programs:

  • Exhibitor Program: The exhibition opens to the public, allowing broader engagement with SMEs and entrepreneurs.
  • Delegate Program: Curated site visits and institutional engagements, followed by the Gala Dinner & Awards Night.

Absolutely. The summit is designed as a global platform, with international delegates receiving support through matchmaking, facilitation, and curated networking to ensure valuable engagement with Australian businesses and institutions.

Each breakout session and roundtable produces a short outcomes summary highlighting:

This ensures the summit delivers tangible value beyond the event itself.

A dedicated event app is used for:

  • Delegate profiles

Yes. Sponsorship and partnership opportunities are available across industry tracks, networking events, exhibitions, and plenary sessions. Sponsors benefit from brand visibility, speaking opportunities, and direct access to targeted audiences.

Registration details, sponsorship enquiries, and exhibitor applications can be accessed through the website. Early registration is recommended due to limited delegate capacity and high demand for matchmaking opportunities.
